SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
First Reading: II Kings 4:42-44
A man brought twenty loaves of bread to Elisha the
prophet, who told his servant to distribute it to the people.
The servant asked how he could offer twenty loaves to
one hundred people. Elisha replied that God had said,
“They shall eat and there shall be some left over.” After
all the people had eaten, there was bread left over as
God had said.
Second Reading: Ephesians 4:1-6
Paul implores the Ephesians to live a life worthy of their
calling by preserving unity among all of Christ’s followers.
He reminds them that there is one body, one Spirit, and
one God who works through all people.
Gospel: John 6:1-15
Jesus fed a crowd of five thousand people with five
loaves of bread and a couple of dried fish. After everyone
present had enough to eat, twelve baskets of leftover
bread were collected. Jesus then realized the people
would want to make him king so he fled alone.

SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
“But the servant objected, ‘How can I set this before a hundred people?’ Elisha insisted,
‘Give it to the people to eat. For thus says the Lord ‘They shall eat and there shall be
some left over.’ And when they had eaten, there was some left over, as the Lord had
said.”… “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish”…When they had
had their fill, he said to the disciples, ‘Gather up the fragments left over, so that nothing
will be wasted.’”
At a time of picnics and alfresco dining, reading from the book of Kings and the gospel of John
is most enjoyable. In both cases we learn that we can use our resources whether abundant or
scarce to touch the lives of others. Whether it be the one hundred or the ‘large crowd’ people
had a hunger, a need, and there were gifts to be given to change their lives.
When we gather for Eucharist, gifts are brought to the altar. They represent our ability to offer
something for the needs of others, who have a hunger we can satisfy, not just bread and wine,
but care, concern, support and understanding.
People are hungering for peace, justice, work, freedom. We cannot overlook them, for we are
the resources to produce change. Don’t waste food; recognize the Christ in the homeless and
hungry. Provide for the many charities who depend on us. The question remains: ‘What are the
five loaves and two fish I have’ and ‘what I am doing with them?’
